All’s Well That Ends Well is the title of a Shakespearian
play, but it also describes the ending of The Kincaid Brides, Book 3. Mary
Connealy has very neatly tied up all the loose ends and still managed to give
us a surprise or two.
I had the opportunity to read second book, In Too Deep,
about the second brother, Ethan, and wondered what I could learn about the
third brother, Seth. A Civil War veteran with a physically painful childhood,
Seth was in the habit of going to the caverns in the mountains around the home
place to hide whenever remembrances of his past overwhelmed him. Along comes Callie
who had married Seth while she nursed him after the war. One day he took off
and she never saw him again. The day came when she realized she needed to find
his brothers, let them know she had married Seth and was on the way to see them.
That in itself was a surprise to the brothers, but not the biggest one. Seth
and Callie had a son no one knew about.
At this point, I was hooked and had a hard time putting the
book down. I simply had to know how Callie and Seth worked this out. Would
Ethan find that the past no longer held control over his life? Would he
remember that he had a wife? Would Callie find that she could trust her husband
not to abandon her again? The answer to all those questions is yes, but how
they were answered I want to reader to discover on their own.
Over the Edge works as a standalone book because enough
information is given to make sure the reader is aware of what has happened in
the lives of Rafe and Ethan, the brothers. Yet, that background information does
not get in the way of those who have previously read Out of Control
and/or In Too Deep.
I received this book to review for free from Bethany House.
